#### Use Characteristic ID Naming

(This item pertains to the check boxes on the General tab of the Setup Options dialog box. You can open it through the F5 key or through the Edit | Preferences | Setup menu option.)

This check box determines how PC-DMIS names features that you import from embedded CAD GD&T callouts (PMI).

- If you mark this check box, PC-DMIS uses the characteristic IDs from the native CAD model for the feature naming.

- If you clear this check box, PC-DMIS uses its default feature naming.

For information on importing CAD GD&T callouts, see "Importing CAD GD&T Callouts" under "Working with CAD GD&T Callouts" in the "Editing the CAD Display" chapter.

Don't confuse this characteristic ID naming with characteristic IDs used by Show Characteristic IDs on the Graphic Items toolbar. The IDs from the toolbar come from an entirely different source. For information on the Graphic Items toolbar see, "Graphic Items Toolbar" in the "Using Toolbars" chapter.
